Crucible: A container made of a substance that can resist great heat, for melting, fusing or metals, etc
In the play The Crucible, everyone within the town gets involved in the trails. The actual word, crucible means that everything inside the container will melt, or fuse. So in comparison to the play, the container is the town, and the people inside are going mad. This is a good symbol for the town. The town was in complete chaos, everyone was blaming each other. Inside the container, everything is blowing up. The chaos in the book started out slow then just blew up. The title is good symbolism of the play. After the entire town got heated, things eventually will calm down, after all is said and done.
I have been in a crucible. In middle school, everyone really judged each other and did not like each other. Eventually, fights happened between everyone. It was only inside our grade these things happened. Looking back on middle school and how everyone acted, it seemed stupid. The television show, Desperate Housewives is like a crucible too. In this show, ever since the one lady died, things started to get heated only within the town. Throughout the many seasons, the people within the town get very heated and angry at each other. Eventually, the heat will die out in the town and everyone moves on.
I liked your connections of the title and the play. my middle school was kind of the same way. but high school is different now people are a lot more mature now but things like rumors and fights still happen. Judgment is just a part of society.I have never watched that show but my friend does and she is always talking about all the drama that goes on. I don't really watch TV shows like that only when I go to my one friends house, she is always watching those reality TV and top model and such. I do not like drama and I don't see the point of watching it on TV.
